Free Peer to Peer music downloads


h1 Monday, January 28th, 2008

Everytime I talk to Workmonkey about downloading shit, he comes back with an accusatory remark like, “..and I bet you didn’t pay for that download.”. The same guy grabbing Mp3s off of Limewire and Nelly for the past 5 years isn’t exactly the model of digital rights compliance.

I remember Napster, I remember Napster’s end (and my friend Hector’s end of job), and then Limewire, Kazaa, and BitTorrent. All these services do the same thing, which is fill up your music player with music that you don’t pay for. As much as the RIAA would like this to stop, it is like banning alcohol, drugs, or building a big wall between the US and Mexico…impossible.

So finally, the music companies have started to yield and you can actually download unlimited tracks for free legally now. Real songs (not just crap public domain stuff) from real artists starting today. Pretty cool, I’ll be downloading to see how well it works. Now we just need to get the movie industry, software manufacturers, game manufacturers, and pr0n manufacturers to do the same thing.

Soulja Boy dance done wrong


h1 Sunday, January 20th, 2008

I told you about phenomenon known as the the Soulja Boy dance sweeping the nation and apparently some white local traffic correspondents have taken to it to their careers’ demise. (from Watty)

The cool thing though, is that the sound engineer showed off a dance even better than the Soulja Boy in this clip and makes it all worthwhile…despite the traffic correspondent.

Happy New Year to everybody. This year my resolutions will be:

1. Lose 1 stone and gain a stone of muscle.
2. Detox
3. Wellness
4. Launch multi-billion dollar company
5. Travel the world
6. Cure cancer

That should do it. Baby steps…like in 2005.
